Early Hoover on eBay -- 425?

[tinytyke]

Only two pictures of this Hoover (Model 425?), for anyone who might be interested, but -- OH -- an early bag! Might be worth the price of admission just for that!

When they only post two pictures, one from a mile away and one so close you can't see anything, you know you're either buying crappy stuff or buying from a crappy seller...

That bag

could very well be the main attraction. It's easy to see, even with the murky photo. As for the machine, I'm sure those who have the know-how could fix it up or part it out.

She is apparently a new seller. She has 0 feedback as a seller, and is listing an Airway simply under "vintage vacuum".

It's a Silver Jubilee bag on that 425. The seller has removed the listing, as she got what she 'thought' was a great offer to sell it to a collector outside of ebay. What she doesn't know is: if she would have let it go, it probably would have gone for a small fortune. I know a certain hoarder who would have bid it through the roof only to put it in a silo never to be seen again.

I'm so glad Stan Kann gave me a Silver Jubilee bag while he was alive.
